Opportunity Summary:
The OVC FY 11 2012 NCVRW Resource Guide opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2011 2879) is a discretionary, competitive grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). OVC plans to make a single award using a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning the selected recipient should expect active collaboration and ongoing involvement from OVC during the project rather than operating entirely independently. The total funding available is $360,000, with an award ceiling of $360,000 and no required cost sharing or matching.
The core purpose of the award is to support the creation of a comprehensive National Crime Victims Rights Week (NCVRW) Resource Guide kit for April 2012, designed to be used not only during NCVRW but throughout the year. The kit is intended to serve the broader victims field by providing practical, ready to use resources that help organizations and agencies increase public awareness of crime victim issues, victims rights, and related services. In practice, this typically means developing a coordinated set of outreach and educational materials that can be adapted and deployed by victim service providers, allied community partners, and public agencies in many different local contexts.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), state governments, city or township governments, county governments, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The solicitation also explicitly notes that nonprofit, faith based, or community based organizations, as well as public agencies, are appropriate candidates to produce the kit, reflecting OVCs interest in materials that can work across diverse communities and service systems. The funding activity category is listed under Education and Law, Justice, and Legal Services, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 16.582 (Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants).
Key dates for the opportunity show it was posted on December 30, 2010, with an application deadline of February 14, 2011, and an archive date of March 16, 2011. Applicants were strongly encouraged to start the submission process early in advance of the February deadline, which is consistent with federal grant submission requirements that can involve multiple registrations and validation steps, especially when applying through Grants.gov.
For support, the announcement points applicants to Grants.gov customer service for technical submission issues (available 24/7 except federal holidays) and identifies a program contact at OVC for solicitation and programmatic questions (Kimberly Kelberg, Program Specialist, at 202-305-2903). Overall, the opportunity is narrowly focused: one award, one primary deliverable (a comprehensive NCVRW resource kit for 2012), and a clear public education and awareness raising goal to strengthen national and local efforts around crime victim rights and services.
